Progress is relative though isn't it.
Scrapping in the 8th in 2015 when compared to where we were at the end of 2006, is certainly not progress. 8th compared with 11th last season would be progress.
The second part of your sentence looks as though you're getting 'progress' mixed up with 'achievement'. Would any Hull fan be content with 8th, no of course not, we want to be up there competing for trophies. Would 8th be a step in the right direction? I think so. A small step anyway.
There are other measures of progress of course, style of rugby for instance, but results and ultimately league standings are the main one.
